7 Questions to ask when you're Mad

A Neurodivergent Ritual for August 24, or whenever you have the spoons.

Each time you complete a ritual, your nervous system becomes more capable, and your energy is better alchemized to work in your favor.
You only need a couple rituals a week to reap the benefits.

🪄 Here’s a ritual for today:

When I am really fucking mad,

I turn to my Trigger Journal. Unlike freehand journaling, the trigger journal offers a structured set of 7 questions that, as I answer, carry me from stormy seas to…well sometimes just less stormy seas, and sometimes breakthroughs that lend to greater self understanding and inner peace.

I’d recommend first trying this ritual when you’re feeling even; try recalling a frustrating situation that has already lost its edge. This way you can get a lay of the land, and you’ll know exactly what to expect when you too are really fucking mad, and you reach for this tool.

The magic in this ritual:

Clarity
Your anger is a messenger, and sometimes it’s informing you that you’re running on a pattern that you are now outgrowing. By understanding the core wounds that control this pattern, you get to address the wound and break the pattern.

Increased Emotional EQ
You’ll gain a clearer understanding of your behaviors and thought patterns. If you’ve ever wondered why you react in certain ways, you’ll find the answers within this ritual, and then you’ll be able to alchemize your heightened awareness to make new and intentional choices.

This is how you Evolve
When you commit to this work you begin to feel safer with You, and when you are a safe person for yourself, you feel safer to chase your dreams.

Less settling
You’ll feel even more often, you’ll have increased confidence, and you’ll settle for less bullshit from others - because the gentler you treat yourself, the more gentleness you’ll demand in your connections, too.
